[quote=Anonymous]You or your brother should get access to her Naviance account (online system to hep with options after high school with accounts provided by most high schools). She likely won’t have that until junior year, but it will be an enormous help figuring out what schools are reaches, matches and safeties. It has tools like the ability to search for schools by gpa/test scores and for each college it has a scatter plot of kids from that high school showing applications/acceptances by GPA and test scores. If you can afford it, consider paying to an SAT or ACT prep course. My kid’s final SAT was like 150 points higher than his first one pre-course. A lot of what kids learn is (unfortunately) strategies for managing time specifically for that test and how to approach multiple choice questions. The biggest difference the class made for my SN kid was a feeling of being in control and this he was calm and able to focus on the test rather than panicking about time. [/quote]
